EVERY citizen should send the
daily papers of Emporia to people they
know in the east. We have the most
beautiful and finest located city in
Kansas, and natural advantages cal
culated to increase our population to an
unlimited extent. All that is required
is that people contemplating coming
out west should know these facts. No
better way of furnishing this knowl-
edge, and assuredly no way one-tenth
as cheap, as sending your daily papers.
Each Saturday we issue an extra large
edition of THE NEws-both in size of
paper and in number printed-in which
we have one or two articles calling es-
pecial attention to our city and some of
her numerous claims as a point at
which to locate, as well as her other
many advantages. These papers are
especially adapted for the purpose
spoken Of, and are being used for this
purpose by the thousand. Our mer,
chants should make note Of this,

THE Chicago, Milwaukee 81 st. Paul
railroad has decided to send PROPOSE
lions to all newspapers in their terri
tory for advertising the railroad, based
upon payment for the same either in
mileage tickets, in cash, or in both. 1t
is probable that the other roads will
follow suit, and that country editors
will still be able to take pass rides in
spite of the interstate commerce law
This is the plan that has been in vogue
between the railroads and many
of the newspapers. What are styled
passes" held by newspaper men gen.
orally are tickets paid for in advertis-

SENATOR HAwLEY, at a recent
meeting of the Young Mems Republi-
can club, of Hartford, Conn.,, ex-
horted them to Inform themselves as
to politics, and not to neglect taking q
part in the caucus and election. The
more that take an interest in nominal
tions, the more likely we are to have
good nominations" He said: Don't
forget that the Lord and your country
have demands upon you in this mat
ter; and to be a politician in the best
sense, is second only to being minis.
ter OF the Lord Jesus Christ. :
I have no regard for man who takes
no interest in politics-he is false tc
his duty. / like to hear Of g
caucus or a school meeting where the
refined and intelligent citizen il

VIZ 10 BOOM.

The Emporia papers have not been
talking up the boom so much OF late
Emporia capitalists have probably got
their property traded around among
themselves to suit, so the boom dies
for want of business. That is the way
with all booms made to order.-Tope-
ka Capital.
Because the Emporia papers do moi
expend as much wind as the Capital
does, simply because the proprietors OF
Emporia papers have not gone out OF
the newspaper business and into real
estate specializing, hiring editors to
boom their additions away out OF
town, as the Capital does, is no reason
why such inuendoes as the above
should be published. Were Mr.. Hud-
son at the helm himself the probable.
ties are that, even if he thought some
other neighboring city in Kansas were
not so fortunate as the capital city, he
would not be so unkind as to publish
the thought. But all this aside, we
would respectfully request the writer
of the above extract to more carefully
read his exchanges up to date and not
clip such senseless paragraphs as these
from country weeklies. Had he read
his EmpOria papers, he would know
the above, to put it very mildly, was a
lie. If giving full particulars of an
election, by which s225, 900 in bonds
were voted, and three new railroads
secured to our city, the commencement
of new waterworks at a cost of S162,-
600, a S25, 900 additional wing to the
State Normal, new stock yards to cost
sc, 600, heavier real estate sales each
week than the week previous, and
other news of similar character, all
published within the last three or -four
days, is not booming our city, than THE
NEWS most assuredly cannot be placed
in the above category. While Topeka
we hope and think, is enjoying great
season of prosperity, she should not &C
plainly show envy OF her equally fortu
nate neighbors, and 'endeavor to dc
them harm by publishing such unwar
ranted statements as the above.

ELECTION NOTES


Americas gave Sc majority for the
E., w. s. Fl. s. road, and only 40
majority for the NJ, K. & S. W. :.
Hartford gave 8 majority for the
bonds. This speaks we'll for the pa
triotism of Hartford.
Reading labored under a misappre-
hension, The Santa Fe workmen on
the construction ovt there, were told
to vote for the bonds by the roadmas-
ter. The citizens inferred from this
that the new roads were being built by
the Santa Fe, and accordingly worked
against the proposition during the rest
of the day.
Fremont gets there in great shape.
Agnes City was about as near unan-
imous as poSsible-against the bonds.

IN France, chiefly for the rank and
file of the army, the state controls and
monopolizes the manufacture and sale
of tobacco, and sells it at its postoffices
as we do postal envelopes. Assuming,
as the military control always assumes,
that the well-being of the army is of
paramount Importance, it takes the
supply of tobacco in it's own hands as
it does the supply ofuniforms, lodgings
and food. Its quality and price are
always the same. The state buys the
supply at wholesale, manufactures it
and fixes an invariable price upon it.
The city of Paris deals similarly
with bread. It's price is regularly fixed,
with reference to the change in the
market price of flour. The manufac-
ture and supply Of bread are left to the
private enterprise of the bakers. If
the price of flour is so high that bread
cannot be afforded at the maximum,
and which is all the poor man can pay
for it, the price is kept down to it, the
bakers collecting the excess from
the city treasury. to replenish
which the Whole body OF
citizens is taxed. In this country
the only remnant, where the col
lectivity undertakes to guarantee the
individual from the corporations dis
honesty or incapacity is the case of the
national banks. BY the act of March
%, 1868, if the banks security does not
redeem its circulation, the United
States must pay the difference. 1t is
this provision that makes the national
bank bill circulate at par all over the
country and has destroyed the constant
variations in exchange of other days.
This shows that the state regulation of
prices is possible.-Dayton Journal.
